Editor’s Note: Flee from any teacher or preacher that does these kinds of things! They are false shepherds and false prophets.

Is it appropriate for a pastor to buy a $200,000 Lamborghini for his wife? When news came out that Greenville pastor John Gray had given his wife a Lamborghini sports utility vehicle for their eighth anniversary, there was an explosion of outrage. In response, Gray posted a video in which he unapologetically refused to back down. He insisted that he was “a husband first” and that nobody had the right to criticize him for blessing his wife. And without a doubt, we want husbands that are good to their wives, but what does it look like to the rest of the world when the pastor of a prominent megachurch flaunts the purchase of a brand new Lamborghini for his wife on Instagram?…
In an Instagram video taken at the celebration, Gray leads his wife to a bow-wrapped car and hands her the keys while saying “Lamborghini Urus.”
Gray, who leads Relentless Church in Greenville, acknowledged on social media that he bought his wife a car for their anniversary and responded to criticism of the purchase.
Do you think that this sort of testimony is going to draw more people toward the Christian faith or away from it?
Gray says that no church money was used for this purpose, and I believe him. Ever since Oprah Winfrey started taking him under her wing, he has been doing extremely well…
Gray, a reality television star with a show on OWN, has several ventures, including other television projects, books and endorsements.
“It’s people who say preachers make too much money and they shouldn’t have this or that,” Gray said in the interview last year. “I understand why and how people get there, but I think they should be very cautious to understand that if the individuals that are serving are honorable, and they are committed to serving, if they have saved their money and want to do something nice for their spouse, or they want to live in a home, you’ve got one life.”
But ultimately most people aren’t even going to pay attention to the source of the money. All they are going to care about is the fact that a megachurch pastor just purchased a $200,000 Lamborghini for his wife, and many will use it as yet another excuse to shut God out of their lives.
And the contrast to what is going on in much of the rest of the world is startling.
